A panto group in Oswaldtwistle has held its 45th show. More than 50 youngsters aged five to 17 took part in St Mary’s Panto Group’s performance of Robinson Crusoe at the Civic Arts Centre in Oswaldtwistle.

Publicity officer Wendy Alltree said 100 per cent effort was given by each of the participants.

She said: “Despite the weather being against us the show went great and we appreciate the support from everyone who braved the elements to come and watch.”

She said the group is looking for new members and those interested can apply by contacting producer Jakkie Doolin on 07714 180359.
